Yes, and risk that someone else will come along and reinvent the wheel as an 
open source project, cutting the dev out entirely. A lot of people in the Linux 
world see charging for software an evil thing. If people can produce something 
as good(?) as Office that costs nothing, why would MS try to break into the 
market? There is no market. This may be a heretofore unmentioned achilles heel 
of the Linux world. But that is just my opinion.
